Lothian Dementia Workshop

Tom Russ

<H2>Aims of the day</H2>
The aim of this workshop is to bring together all the professional groups and services working with people with dementia. Hopefully as a result we can work together for the benefit of people with dementia and their families.

Little France is well-served by public transport (CDP is just up the hill from the Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh bus stops) and we would encourage you to travel by public transport, if possible. There is only limited parking at CDP itself.
 
<H2>Instructions</H2>
Please choose the professional group which most matches your discipline. The hope is to have broad attendance so we may have to do some fiddling to make sure every service is represented - please bear with us! If you have a problem, please email Tom (T.C.Russ@ed.ac.uk).
Please could you also send us a brief (<1 page) description of your service(s) which will be collated in a handout for the day and will hopefully usefully summarise all the dementia care in and around Edinburgh.
